Equipping Track

- 300 series – Workers
- 400 series – Leaders
Why We Need Equipping?
“I honestly regard studying God’s Word is a priority for every Christian. If I don’t, I believe I won’t have much success and I’ll be forever making fresh starts which will often lead to failure. I want to understand every part of the Bible and know its background. I also desire to know the steps to study the Bible so that I can apply them in my life.” – Marilou
“I keep asking God that He will continue to give me the Spirit of wisdom so that I may come to know Him better (Eph 1:17). Joys and sorrows, challenges and trials may come our way as we walk with God, but do we really “know Him”? How deep is our faith in Him? Are we committed to love Him passionately and love others with a purpose? For me, I needed and still need to grow deep in the Word of God in order to build a strong and firm foundation in Him. The time we invest in equipping is worth it all. So make the necessary adjustments. Come, let us be inspired by the Word of God together.” – Erlinda
“And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming (1 John 2:28). There are 3 reasons why I enroll in the Equipping Track: 1) I believe the best education is done in a Christian context; 2) Knowing our Creator is a continuous process; 3) I learn truths for application in my daily life. Our God communicates with words that require us to read, think and feel. We are then called to respond in person and mind. Through this equipping, I can seek and serve Him more effectively in the ministry.” – Christina Ong
“I have a simple desire to know Him better each year. The equipping track will give me a more systematic approach to anchor deeper in God's Word. The best time to feed ourselves and build our reserves is now.” – Camelia Ang
How Others Have Benefited… From Last Semester (Aug-Nov 2011)
Seminar attended:
“Understanding The End Times” by Rev Dr George Annadorai
“The speaker has an in-depth knowledge of the Book of Revelation. It was really exciting as he unfolded the mystery of the book and related it to our present time events. I am awed by the fact that God is who He said He is and will do what He said He would do. He determines the beginning of time when He created the earth and will determine the end of time as well. The end is near, it is urgent that we fix our eyes on Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith, to focus on what is eternal.” - Sis Khoo Puay Cheng
Seminar attended:
“Understanding The End Times” by Rev Dr George Annadorai
This seminar especially the part on the opening of scrolls has greatly helped me to understand the major tragedies that are taking place around the world… I went away wanting to know more! We are living in the end times and I see the urgency to reach out to lost souls! - Sis Christina Ong
Course attended:
“Unlocking The Bible” (Part 5) by Bro Richard Goh
“I am very grateful that I have come to know more about God's Word and His unconditional love toward us. I have also learnt the significance of putting my faith in God based on the Word of God. Through this class, I am now growing to read the Bible more regularly.” - Madalyn Pondevilla
Course attended:
“Unlocking The Bible” (Part 5) by Bro Richard Goh
“Through this class, I have learnt that the New Testament is truly a revelation of the Old Testament. It has deepened my understanding of the lives of the older generations, how God treated them and how they responded to God. This class has also cleared many doubts and questions in my mind as to what kind of God He is like and the unchanging ways He deals with man. Now I realised that in order for us to understand or appreciate the New Testament better, we really need to learn the Old Testament. Thank you very much, church, for giving me this opportunity to learn more about God's Word. And thank you, Bro Richard Goh, for your untiring endeavor to help us grow in the knowledge of the Holy Book.” - Ella B. Lingbaoan
Course attended:
“Unlocking The Bible” (Part 5) by Bro Richard Goh
“This class has left a deep impact in my personal life. Now that I can better understand the Bible story, Bible reading is becoming a part of my daily routine. My faith in God has also grown. In the past, I used to see myself as a nobody. Now, I realized that actually I am somebody… all by the grace and gifts of God. Thank you, Shekinah, for this wonderful experience.” - Rolly E. Nacion
Workshop attended:
“Creative Worship & Teaching” by Sis Geraldine Tan
“Geraldine got me back to what worship is all about. It is not about singing a few songs; it is not about me being inadequate in singing; it is not about me but everything about God! She shared with us what worship would bring about, allowing the kids to sense God's greatness and giving them the right perspective about God. We had two fun-filled sessions learning the actions, trying to sing and laugh at ourselves at the same time; learning how a simple drawing activity can be used to get kids to share their thoughts about themselves and about each other; learning actions, songs and resources (books, CD, Youtube and websites). It is indeed heartening to see Sylvia volunteering for the Children Day's celebration P & W and Ching Ching using the songs learnt in the lessons. The 4/14 Window is here. Let us be equipped with skills such as these to reach this new generation! - Sis Tham Siew Leng
Workshop attended:
“Creative Worship & Teaching” by Sis Geraldine Tan
“The session on action songs was interesting and fun... I have enjoyed myself and hope that we can have more such training for Sunday School teachers. - Sis Sylvia Sim
Seminar attended:
“Christ In The Tabernacle” by Bro Silas Tan
“My eyes were opened as I discover our Lord Jesus Christ’s ministry in the Old Testament tabernacle. I am so thankful that God sent His Son to redeem us two thousand years ago, and because of His perfect sacrifice, we can now enter the Holy of Holies without guilt and shame.” - Sis Camelia Ang
Seminar attended:
“Christ In The Tabernacle” by Bro Silas Tan
“Just as all scriptures points to Jesus Christ so is the tabernacle that God has painstakingly instructed Moses to build. It was refreshing to discover the reasons why the materials were made in a certain way. There are so much more to learn and hopefully Bro Silas will consider doing another session on this subject. I highly recommend to those who have missed it.” - Bro Richard Goh
Course attended:
“Roots and Wings” (Part 2) by Ps Hock Cheng
“This course showed me a journey of self-discovery on how I can grow my Roots deep in God's Word so I can soar with new Wings of knowledge in a renewed relationship with Him! A must sign-up for those who need to discover themselves in their Christian life journey with God: rediscovered, rejuvenated and re-empowered! - Sis Mona Lim
Course attended:
“Roots and Wings” (Part 2) by Ps Hock Cheng
“I have learnt the Eightfold Core Curriculum for discipleship. It helps me to see and diagnose what are Surface problems, the root problem of what Christian faced today and what should we do to steer ourselves to the right direction. We shared our thoughts and applications of what we have learnt in class. The interaction and sharing in class not only allowed me to know more about my classmates (Jaime, Sylvia, Mona & Puay Cheng), but also allowed me to know myself better! - Sis Doris Leng
